The Voyage Unplanned, by Frank Yerby (508 pgs., 1974). This is one of my favorite books of all time. I used to read it once or twice each year. I even wrote to Yerby & he replied with a long & personal letter. This book switches back & forth between then modern day Israel & Europe and the French Resistance to the Nazis during World War II. I fell in love with the characters. I fell in love with the story. I fell in love with how Yerby's writing played on my emotions. I fell in love with Yerby's research & how he made such dry facts come to life in his hands. I loved his take on love. I loved his take on heroism & courage. I loved his take on history. He simply captured me with this story.
